Ralph Angel not only ran to Darla after her relapse, but he broke off his date with Deesha to do so and then didn't see her again until their kids had a play date.

It was clear at that point that this romance was on seriously shaky ground.

Ralph Angel: Look, Deesha, you are an amazing woman. I just, I just wish…Deesha: You didn’t have other obligations?Ralph Angel: I guess. They ain’t even obligations. I can just see now that if she’s hurting, I’m hurting. If she bleed, I bleed. I ain’t even sure it’s much of a choice at this point but I’m still in love with Darla.Deesha: What you just said is one of the most beautiful things a man can say to a woman but I’m not the woman you’re talking about and I respect myself too much to play second fiddle. Ralph Angel: You deserve more than that. Deesha: I know I do but I wish you well, Ralph Angel. Blue and Darla too.

That is the way grown-ups handle a breakup, or at least it's the way they should.

There was no crying or yelling, no name-calling or finger-pointing. Just two people being honest about their feelings and having enough respect for one another to move on in peace.

Deesha even said she'd make sure their kids could still get together regularly. Now that's the sign a good parent and a good person.

But Darla has a lot of work to do on herself before she and Ralph Angel can dive into any kind of romance and they both seem to know it.

Darla is working with her sponsor and working her steps to get back on the right course. She's taking care of herself so she can take care of Blue and that's important.

But it's clear that having Ralph Angel stand by her through all of this has given her hope for their future.

Ralph Angel: The thing is, nobody tell you that loving somebody could hurt so much. Always terrified of losing all the things you pray for. Darla: I pray for you. I still do. I pray that you could forgive me one day. Ralph Angel: I already told you, I do, and I mean it. Darla: I mean really forgive me. Forgive me enough to go back to what we had before. Do you think you could ever think about us again?Ralph Angel: I always do. I don’t think I ever really stopped.

Keke, being a smart young woman, started taking birth control pills six weeks prior to prom after making the decision to take her and Micah's relationship to the next level, but when their friends found out Micah had booked a hotel room for them, she began to have her doubts.

It's one thing to decide to have sex with someone, it's quite another to have it announced to your friends and classmates.

The storm and the group gathering after prom had gotten canceled led to everyone discussing where they wanted to be in ten years.

All of Micah's friends had big dreams and plans, but Micah was lost.

Will Micah end up changing his mind about Harvard? That would crush Charley who has worked hard to give Micah every advantage, and acceptance to Harvard University is the epitome of her efforts.

Micah is at a point in his life where he has lots of choices to make concerning everything from his education, his career, his relationship, and his dreams.

It will be interesting to see what he chooses next.

Hollywood was making his own choices, and they were bold.

He believes that men should have support groups where they can lead on one another and share what they feel, much like women do, but the men he knows wouldn't be caught dead in one.

So, he's trying to tweak the concept, make it into a type of social club called The Real Spot, where guys can keep it real.

It sounds something like a mashup between group therapy and a bar, and it will be curious to see how this all comes together, but he definitely has Violet's backing, which should boost his confidence moving forward. It was so good to see these two smiling and happy once again.

Elsewhere, Calvin came to New Orleans to help Nova celebrate her birthday, and these two talked about all of the obstacles that had previously ensured their relationship had little chance of success.

It was painful to be away from you but I’d convinced myself that it was my choice. At all times, I remained in control but I can’t say I was happy.

But Charley Bordelon has never backed down from a fight in her life and she's not about to do so now with the future of St. Jo's in the crosshairs.

Charley played Jacob the recording on which Jacob's mother called Charley, "nothing more than an upstart Mulato gal trying to be white."

At least Jacob had the good sense to look ashamed.

Charley: You know the difference between you and me? I know my shame and I’ve dealt with my issues. But Jacob, despite the evidence of all of American history, your history, you can’t even acknowledge that your issues around whiteness even exist. Jacob: How can I be better?Charley: Drop out of the race?Jacob: I can’t do that. I want to, I don’t even want to be a councilman but it’s too late for that now.Charley: Wow. So there’s nothing that you can do.Jacob: I can promise to work with you once I’m in office.Charley: No. No, that is not good enough. Do better.Jacob: I can’t just drop out of the race but maybe I can find a way to make myself unelectable, you know, throw the race. Charley: I think I can help you with that.

Nova: We celebrate this young king and queen today not only for their beauty but also for their brains. A round of applause to Keke who’s going to my Tulane University on a full visual arts scholarship…and our dear Micah West who’s taking his talents all the way across the country to Harvard.Charley: My baby’s going to Harvard!
